ALIVE ༄ SUNA RINTAROU

6. study bud

Y/N's POV

after suna walked me home, i showered and went straight to bed. i had finished my school work at the gym, so i was just relaxing now. i wasn't planning on sleeping this early though, it was only around 8pm.

my arms stretched out in front of me, holding the small stuffed animal suna gave me. unintentionally, a smile had creeped onto my face. i let my arms come down and close my eyes, letting myself relive the past few hours. i don't know why, but suna had occupied my mind. it wasn't just the moments i had experienced with him moments ago either, it was specific details. his eyes, his smile, his hair, his personality.

i groan, rubbing my face. there was no way i was developing a stupid crush on this guy of all people. but... he wasn't so bad...

y/n! i sit up, thinking of things i could do to get my mind off of him. this was dumb, i've only known him for roughly two days. i mean, i've known him for as long as i've been around the twins... argh! i've got to stop justifying this.

i grab my phone and turn it on for the first time since checking it at the sushi place. it was on "do not disturb", so i wasn't getting notifications. i see a few texts from the twins and a classmate whom i once considered a friend. she's more of an acquaintance now, but there wasn't any bad blood between us. opening the messages app, i read the ones from the groupchat with the twins first.

ATSUMU

OSAMU
> if suna makes you cry let us know asap
> we'll beat his ass

ATSUMU
> also
> if u ditch us for suna again, u will be removed from this gc

OSAMU
> atsumu stfu
> y/n wouldn't even care

ATSUMU
> samu come downstairs rn so i can throw my shoe at you

i chuckle reading their texts, however, atsumu's first text caught me off-guard. did suna tell them it was a date or something? i begin typing a response.

ME
> First of all, it was not a date! We were just strengthening our friendship, and he wanted a staring contest rematch. Honestly, it reminds me of something Atsumu would do...
> Also, I did not ditch you for Suna. You guys said I was not needed tonight, and if I had stayed, Kita would've beat your asses!
> Aside from that... how was your guys' practice?

i send the messages and check the one from my classmate by the name of Kara.

KARA
> Hey y/n! How are you? It's been a while since we've last spoken.

i raise my eyebrows, a little confused.

ME
> Hi Kara!
> I'm doing well :)
> It has been a while, but what's up?

kara and i were once really good friends. we grew up together, but when the twins and i started getting closer and kara began making other friends too, we just grew apart. it wasn't intentional, but it just happened. when we see each other in the halls and in class, we still greet and acknowledge each other, but it wasn't like before.

i wasn't sure who kara was now. we had both grown as individuals and were definitely not the same person we were in middle school. whenever i talk to her in person, she seems a little fake, but so am i, i guess. i understand why we do it though -- we still want to be friends somewhere deep down. at least that's how i felt.

i feel my phone buzz admist my thoughts, snapping me out of it.

KARA
> That's good! I was just texting to see how you were doing
> Just wanted to rekindle some friendships :P
